Shami goes past this Indian bowling legend in World Cup history

NEW DELHI: Having warmed the benches for the first four matches,

Mohammed Shami

's wait of getting a chance in the ongoing World Cup finally ended with the pacer being included for the New Zealand clash in Dharamsala on Sunday.
The right-arm pacer Shami went on to justify his inclusion and made an immediate impact by striking on his delivery of this World Cup to give India an early edge.

Shami dismissed New Zealand opener Will Young, who chopped onto his stumps off a length ball that got a bit of extra bounce. With this wicket, he went past legendary bowler Anil Kumble (31) in the list of bowlers with most wickets for India in World Cups. Shami now has 32 wickets from 12 World Cup games.

Former pacers Zaheer Khan and Javagal Srinath are tied on the first spot with 44 wickets.
Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to field in a mouth-watering clash between the two unbeaten teams.

India left out an injured

and fellow all-rounder Shardul Thakur bringing in batter Suryakumar Yadav and Shami.
Both teams have won all four of their matches in the tournament so far.
New Zealand, who are without regular skipper Kane Williamson, fielded the same team that beat Afghanistan in their previous match.
